base of the calculation
As acceptable limiting-size is in % the measure of the
acceptable (lower)internal pressure of the tee is acted up
to the acceptable internal pressure of the tube. As tube
internal pressure was adopted the smaller one which
offered of the affiliated tube at the pass. The acceptable
internal pressures were calculated according to TRD 301,
edition 04.79.
